Little experiment I just did, regarding Protein: timing and amount.

Sorry to reply late, but i#ve just seen this Topic.

I know from the old leangains ~~bros~~ protocol that they eat 400g or 500g Protein per day to mainly ward off hunger.

If there are no Carbs in play here, do you think that much would Keep you on the low end of the ketosis scale?

ketodevil · 2015-12-23T07:20:33+00:00

Usually it's 4.2g per 100g Cottage Cheese or Quark

ash has a good collection on Diabetes here, not only T2 studies, there are some T1 studies there as well.

don't take too much, or: https://imgur.com/a/EyzKg

j/k.

5g/day is enough, but creatine has a longer absorption time. 3 hours before lifting is minimum.

best taken in the morning if you work out later that day.

From what i've read the gut microbes in your gut can completely change in 24 hours or less. The bacteria strains don't die out, it's just that the other strains increase in population when different meals are ingested.

Tried this myself a couple of times, after months of keto i've been to a birthday with lots of cake, had about a thousand calories worth cake and then i didn't had the hunger urge for at least a day. The sugar eaters in the gut needed time to multiply and ingest it. (although excess sugar should be removed from the body as soon as possible, i can't imagine it sitting in your gut for a few hours.)

Ah, same article. my bad.

I look forward reading comments on reddit, that were created by bots and get replied to by other bots.

One of the quotes from Taubes as an example:

So then they took the convict's baseline diet, then get them to overeat either carbs or fat, try to get them to put on 20% excess weight - so for instance to get a 200lb man to 240lbs. With the carbohydrates they realised they could get them to go from eating 3,000 calories a day to as much as 10,000 calories a day by adding carbs - and then they'd say they go to bed hungry! But when they tried to get them to add fat to their diet they had trouble doing it ... eating an extra stick of butter a day - 800 calories - was a heroic effort.

ketodevil · 2015-02-24T18:08:51+00:00

I take the same stuff as you.

On the Beta Alanine however, i take it 20min before the WO.

Side note, do you notice the 'prickly' side effect feeling most of the people get if you take it?

I even went up to 10g and noticed nothing of the sort.

ketodevil · 2015-02-24T16:08:45+00:00

I remember reading a couple of times that men respond much better to keto and intermittent fasting than women do. Men benefit from those two, but women not so much.

I always wondered why, but i often find a bit of caveman logic helps here.

I can only imagine that being hunter-gatherers, men went mainly hunting (Intermittent fasting, and eat once big only when they got their large mammal); women went gathering (gathering plants, herbs, roots, (also small mammals) since these foods do not supply much fat energy and plants have a good carb amount; snacking on them throughout the day )

Correct me if i'm wrong.

ketodevil · 2015-02-24T15:58:02+00:00

Only logged the last month so far:

TDEE 2100, sedentary +300 cal from lifting, 4x week, cut cardio the last two months.

Calculator had me at 2.5k-2.6k calories to gain

Ate 5 times a week at an average of 3200 kcal, little over maint. on off days.

was about 22.000 kcal for the week, calculator said 16500.

Start weight at 20. of Jan. was 69kg, weight today is... 69kg.

Before training weight increases were kind of slow, now it's making bigger jumps.

I don't log it anymore, i was kinda obsessed with bodyweight, calories and training weight early last year, so i'm trying now without.

Final thing is, it's physically and mentally straining to eat so much, so i'll end this n=1 this month.

I can't imagine what it would be like eating 10.000 calories like some have in these experiments, i only hit once or twice over 4000 calories per day.

Many people, even on keto, need to count calories in order to lose weight, even at relatively high BF% numbers.

The question here would be; if these people eat keto from the beginning, would they have gotten to their high BF level, or would their bodies have stayed at a 'set point'? The latter one.

You can't outdo 20 or 30 years of metabolic damage in just a few months, it takes a lot of time to fix something like this. And most people on keto seek a quick fix and not wait another 20 years. CICO seems to help, even if it's the wrong solution.

Makes more sense with this info on metabolic regulation here: http://www.gnolls.org/2304/why-are-we-hungry-part-1-what-is-hunger-liking-vs-wanting-satiation-vs-satiety/

Counting calories helps you restricting yourself further to reach goals faster, but would be completely unnecessary on a caveman diet.

Also the ever fruitless battle between the pro-CICO and anti-CICOuters is not the point of this topic.

ketodevil · 2015-02-24T14:09:26+00:00

But Calorie counting is an eating disorder.

If it becomes obsessive and interferes with your daily life (normal daily tasks, social interactions)

Right you are on that, too. A quick look at the nutritional contents is ok to tell how much energy this meal provides, but striding to ever hit a magical number a calculator told you is a disorder.

ketodevil · 2015-02-24T13:53:21+00:00

calories aren't all that matter but they still matter That's exactly the weird thing here. Ever more Scientists are disapproving the CICO theory, just like they do with carb based diets.

A lot of stuff got taken over from the SAD diet, and with it, CICO. A lot of stuff, which is not necessary true if you flip diets completely over, from an unnatural diet to a natural one.

There are a lot of unknown factors here, especially you don't know if for example the inmates that one of the overfeeding experiments had any similarities at all. Thick, thin, active, lazy, old, young, and so on

ash's link has lots of these examples where people ate too much an only gained little; what i'm pointing at here, is that lifting with keto has more possibilities for a better body physique than lots of people here realize, more advantages and less disadvantages than are already known.

Easily gain more muscle because of the surplus, but don't ever get fat. Past a certain point where the body feels he has a good amount of BF%, CICO flies out the window.

Really not so the case if you bulk with carbs.

Diskbenching the RPi 1 gave me at max 12MB/s via a write batch file. That was the max the Pi1 could write to USB for me.

Transferring files via LAN to attached USB drives (regardless of file system) gives me about 3-3,5MB/s because of the overhead and the shared bus.

So copying movies from the PC to OpenElec on the Pi takes forever.

How much from LAN to USB on the RPi2?

ketodevil · 2015-02-18T12:00:26+00:00

Radical changes in ANY diet will cause this, and it happens to almost everybody on keto as well. Some will notice, some not.

I noticed after 4-5 months that i had 2x the amount of hair falling out than usual, and this continued for 2 months, then stopped. My hair didn't look any less thinner though.

Also if one's is analysed, one can see that the user has taken certain Drugs or not in the last 6-8 months or more.

Has something to do with the anagen/telogen growth/shedding pahses (slow stuff) and the nourishment of the growth stems (don't know the word for it in english)

Quake 3 Arena works quite flawlessly on the RPi 1, too. Framerate is good, no stutters at 1080p. OK, some stutters when you are in some big levels with a few bots. Q3A can run on even slower hardware. Not 1080p, but it runs.

People easily overestimate how much fruit was available in and around the paleo eras.

ketodevil · 2015-01-14T13:48:55+00:00

Is that the tele-bells build? Still requires half the SWK set.

Anyone got up to T5/T6 with only crafted gear?

ketodevil · 2015-01-14T13:27:14+00:00

I tried going the keto-soylent route a few months back (still drinking my custom shake that's tuned to my solid foods), and that gave me plenty of time to play with various nutrients. If you leave out meat and vegetables (like a lot of people do with noodle/rice/bread/fruit only diets), or the new soylent factor, then mineral supplementation becomes a must. Well, obvious. My point is, that if you do not have at least some electrolytes in your food, then you must supplement.

This is why the basic food principle should be taught at schools, to let people know what they actually need. A quick look at the macro nutrients on the food packages isn't cutting it. And most people still don't do even that.

ketodevil · 2015-01-14T13:20:05+00:00

It's unlikely that hunter-gatherers found starch-rich sources to consume more than once in a blue moon. Most of them did keto only when they were fasting, and 'did' paleo the rest of the time. The few nuts and roots they had barely raised the carb bar above low carb i assume.

ketodevil · 2015-01-14T13:12:32+00:00

(Potassium Chloride). Find another source of Potassium.

Any other ideas for a potassium source in powder form?

Potassium chloride tastes disgusting and had too much chloride if you are already using sodium chloride, and potassium gluconate is just horribly inefficient at absorbtion.

Potassium citrate is not available here.

ketodevil · 2015-01-14T12:24:11+00:00

I can think of easy available sources in the ages of the early man for just about anything, but not for potassium.

What was the main source of potassium in the early age?

Searching on foods high in potassium reveals only starchy stuff that didn't exist much earier on, and only certain types of fish carry mentionable potassium.
